I want to uninstall an rpm package. The original package is in my home
directory. In that directory, after becoming superuser, I enter rpm -e <the
rpm package> only to be told that that package is not installed! Just to
make sure it is installed, I do rpm -U <rpm package name> and am told that it
is already installed!
